SING-O! BING-O!

Who doesn't LOVE Bingo? This is a fun version of it that I made up for singing time. Easy to do! Create a Bingo card with the letters S-I-N-G-O across the top. Then under each letter are the numbers 1-5 in mixed up orders. I made a card for each class. Make sure no two cards are alike.

I have no printer ink, so I had to hand make my Bingo cards this time!!

You can use this to teach a new song or for review other songs. I have in a jar pieces of paper to draw out after they sing what ever song or portion of a song I ask. They get a number of letters based upon how well they sing. I would draw any where form one bingo piece up to four! The pieces were in a jar as follows;
S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, I1, I2, I3, I4, I5, N1, ...etc. I think you get the idea. When I drew the pieces I would call out the coordinates. The teachers had each been given a marker to mark them off. Some teachers did it themselves, some let a child do it.

Here are some examples of how teachers marked them.

So...what do you win if you get a SING-O BING-O? When a class gets a bingo they get to choose which song we sing. I let them know this right at the start so that they would all be thinking of a song!
